“The mountains held her imagination. Three Hills became the place where literature, conviction and hospitality met.”
Mary Johnston's legacy
A home built
by a woman
ahead of her time.
In 1913, celebrated Virginia novelist Mary Johnston made Three Hills her home. Her novel To Have and to Hold had become the nation's bestselling novel of 1900, giving her a rare measure of independence at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Johnston was more than a literary celebrity. She helped found the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia, spoke publicly for women's voting rights and brought reform-minded ideas into her writing. At Three Hills, she continued to write and, with her sisters, opened the estate to guests in 1917.
The manor—designed by Richmond architects Carneal and Johnston—pairs an Italian Renaissance exterior with Colonial Revival interiors. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains closely connected to Johnston's creative life and independent spirit.
